With the thaw coming fast and furious, the "use by/freshness date" for this saga is quickly approaching. Are you ready for days 3 -6? You're not? Oh, come on. This one will be quick. To tell the truth, not these two combatants barely clashed between the 3rd and 5th. Still not ready? Too bad, here we go!

- Blog wakes up to find the streets clear. Rising temperatures have sucker-punched Snow in the gut. By noon, Blog can even see his lawn again. 10 points.

- Snow may be gone physically but his ominous presence still lingers. The news prophesizes an additional 3-4 inches within hours. 2 points.

- Despite the doomsayers on KGW, Snow doesn't strike back. Monday comes and goes w/o incident. Blog does the Funky Robot atop Snow's melting carcass. Triumph! 5 points.

Could this be the most amazing comeback in the history of comebacks? At the end of day 6...

BLOG: 29
SNOW: 16
